Steven Sunshine

Steven Sunshine is the CEO of Ticketure, the cloud ticketing platform that runs admissions, memberships and donations for museums, zoos, aquariums, gardens and immersive venues from Meow Wolf to the Philadelphia Zoo. He co-founded TixTrack in 2008 and ran it through acquisition by The Nederlander Organization in 2022; in July 2025 the Ticketure business was spun out as a standalone company backed by Dahlia Equity, with Sunshine at the helm. Before ticketing he spent the late 1990s and early 2000s commercializing the 'electronic nose' as president and CEO of Cyrano Sciences, a Caltech spinout whose handheld Cyranose device used a 32-polymer sensor array to identify smells, later acquired by Smiths Detection.
